"What do you mean you wouldn't ditch that loser Alex Waynee for Jose Louis…a more handsome, prominent young man?" 

Sandra Douglas is standing staring at Lady Karen Douglas in bewilderment, although she isn't that surprised as this wasn't the first time her cousin's wife, Iris Douglas had pulled off such a stunt.

The other day, Sandra Douglas almost ended up beating her for insulting her fiance.

"Grandma, I am not surprised that you would take Iris's side on this matter as usual." She shakes her hair in disbelief.

"So what…do you want me to take sides with you when all you have decided is to bring disdain and shame to this family by rejecting Edward Hinnbergs?" 

"Do you know that you just destroyed our one opportunity of becoming more prominent… if you had married Edward Hinnberg, we would have merged both families' companies into one powerful financial conglomerate." She says as her heart heaves up and down in vexation.

She was really angry that Sandra Douglas had chosen Alex Waynee over the eldest son of the Hinnbergs.

"Grandmother stop it! You are hurting my fiancee" Alex Waynee face had anger written all over it.

"Wait! Did you just talk back and shout at Lady Karen Douglas, my grandmother… have you gone crazy?"

Douglas' voice was vehement as he rushed and threw Alex Waynee a heavy blow, but Alex was swift enough to dodge the blow and Donald Douglas crashed and fell upon Iris Douglas who was behind Alex Waynee.

Standing up in anger, he gazed at his wife who was still struggling to get up from the wreckage, looking at his white shirt, it had stains all over it from the crash.

As he rushed to deliver another blow to Alex Waynee, the other guys stepped in and blocked him, dragging him outside.

"I will make sure I get you for this… you will surely regret this action of yours. You will regret ever stepping foot into this family and raising your voice at my grandmother." His voice was vehement, his gaze was laced with venom as his feet dragged on the floor, and he was being pulled outside the venue to avoid further conflict.

"Alex! You should leave my granddaughter alone…let her marry a better man…can't you see that the two of you aren't supposed to be together."

The whole universe is against you!

As Lady Karen Douglas was still speaking, Alex Waynee pulled Sandra Douglas closer to him and they both walked out the door.

The voice of Lady Karen Douglas and Iris Douglas was very vehement as they cursed Alex Waynee.

Moments later… At havila Suites.

"Alex! We can't go in there." It costs at least two thousand bucks just for bottled water.

Sandra Douglas said as she stared at her fiance in bewilderment who was already inside the restaurant beckoning on her to come inside.

Their tables were filled with all kinds of rich foods and wine.

Sandra Douglas stared at him, her mouth agape.

"Alex my love, I know that you love to eat a lot whenever you are angry, but since last month, lady Karen Douglas had my premium card blocked because I chose you over that dweeb that calls himself Edward Hinnberg…I mean who the hell does he think he is?" 

Alex Waynee gazed at her, he felt pity for her, ever since she took the bold step and went against the all-powerful Lady Karen Douglas by choosing him, it had been real hell for her.

She was demoted to a junior staff at the Douglas Global Empire, and her parents Robert and Mary had been relegated and spat on by other members of the family, now that he was a billion times richer than every family in whistling meadows, he planned to make Lady Karen Douglas and her stupid grandson, Donald Douglas and his wife grovel at his feet and he planned using his fiancée as his secret weapon.

"Hey I happened to stumble into a weirdo yesterday…he gave me this number and said that I should send my account number to it and I will be credited a huge sum of money… so I want you to try it out."

Alex Waynee said as he handed Sandra a piece of paper.

Sandra stared at him, with her fork still in her mouth. She really needed money as their house's rent had already expired, and the landlord had embarrassed her parents earlier. She and her parents were kicked out of the family mansion the day she rejected Edward Hinnberg for Alex Waynee.

"Ok!" She said her voice was mellifluous as she sent her account number to the number.

As she was punching in her account number, Alex texted Eric Raymond who was now his butler, requesting that he transfer 20 million dollars to the account number that would be sent to his number.

Ring!!!

Picking up her phone, she couldn't believe her eyes, her account had flipped from 200 bucks to 20 million dollars.

Jumping up she ran towards Alex and hugged him tightly.

"Sweetheart! It worked, and I have been credited 20 million dollars… this is mind-blowing…I can't believe this…can I send my mom's account?" She asked as she plopped into her chair, her eyes glistening with happiness.

"Um… no you can't! It's a one-time kinda stuff… it's already expired."

"Okay…now I can pay the rent and the bills."

"You don't need to worry about the bills… I already paid them in advance," he says as he gulps his wine.

Sandra Douglas stares at him in bewilderment, wondering if he was joking or drunk.

"How can a man who has no job, all he does is sit around and run errands for his fiancée mom be able to pay a bill of over thirty thousand dollars? She asked, gazing into his eyes.

"I used my savings…" he said, smiling gleefully.

Sandra Douglas still didn't believe him, staring at him she called for the bartender who came in to tell her that everything had already been paid for.

She looked at him, her mouth agape.

This isn't the man I fell for, even from the way the manager of Havila Suites was treating him was quite different. 

'Something is going on here, but I just can't get my hands on it.' she thought to herself.

Ring! Ring!! Ring!!!

"Hello"

"Master Alex Wayne! Take your fiance and step out of that restaurant now!" Eric Raymond's voice was laced with fear and Alex Waynee could feel the trepidation surging all over him.

Getting up immediately, he grabbed the hands of Sandra as they made their way towards the door, his gaze darted to a familiar face, the face of a man that had caused him pain, but he just couldn't piece together where he saw the man.

He stopped in his tracks as he gazed into the eyes of the lecherous killer.

  • Finally....

    Moments later, Lord Douglas is seated in the church as everyone gathered around him to hear his story. The situation was intense and palpable as Lord Douglas began his story. "All I wanted was for my beautiful granddaughter Janet to marry Alex Waynee in a bid to preserve the Wayne's lineage, but as it may seem, she immediately ditched him after my fake death." Lord Douglas said as he stared at Janet and Tyler who bowed their heads in disappointment. "Many years ago, the seven great families in whistling meadows, the Wayne's, the Lex's, the Osborne's, the Well's, the Douglas's, the Louis's and the Hinnbergs formed a business pact." "Things were going on very well until the rest of the family Lords noticed that Lord Wayne and his family were dominating the entire business space." "So they plotted their total annihilation." His voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and regret. "Luckily I was at the meeting but before my warning could reach my friend Lord Wayne, it was alr

  • Blown away... What!!!

    It's one year already since Alex Waynee left to see the dude at Farmer's ville.In Sandra's room, she is staring at a newspaper that read…'Lost in the woods.'Tears wells down her eyes profusely as she stared at the newspaper.Her face etched with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety.All efforts to console her by Mr Robert and Mrs Mary were all efforts in futility."Sandra, are you going to keep mourning and weeping over him all the rest of your life.""It's been a year already and you haven't even gone to the office for once.""What if the real CEO of Elvis Global Empire finds out and sacks you immediately.""Alex Waynee is gone and there is nothing you can ever do to bring him back."Mrs Mary's voice was barely above whispers as she stared at her daughter who laid on the bed weeping profusely.Her hair was all messed up in tears."Mom, he isn't gone.""He left this note and disappeared…I'm very sure this might be a prank or something."Sandra Douglas said, her voice was barely abov

  • I'm sorry...

    "To meet…he didn't say who.""He said that's the condition or else he would proceed with the main plan which is to reveal my true identity to the whole world."Alex Waynee said as he plopped himself into the sofa by his side.Eric Raymond, Evans Raymond, Nicole and John Paul all stared at him in incredulity, the weight of the situation settling heavily in the room."We can't let him expose you like that."Eric Raymond's voice held a sense of urgency as he paced back and forth, his mind racing with possible solutions."Is there any way we can track this masked figure down? Find out who he is?"Nicole asked, her fingers dancing across the keyboard as she tried to trace the origin of the recent call.Alex Waynee sighed, running a hand through his hair, the whole event had covered him up in frustration and bewilderment."He's been elusive so far, covering his tracks well. But we need to find a way, and fast."His voice was barely above whispers.John Paul spoke up, "What about the tasks h

  • Oh no!

    The weight of the dude's question hung in the air like a heavy storm cloud, casting a dark and ominous shadow over Alex Waynee's already tumultuous night."Are you seriously going to broadcast my true identity to the whole world?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety.The threat of his true identity being exposed to the public added a layer of urgency to an already complex situation."I never wanted to, but you brought this upon yourself."The voice was cold and detached.Alex Waynee stares askance at the ceiling above him, with a clenched jaw, Alex Waynee paced back and forth on the balcony.The cool night air doing little to soothe the fire of anxiety burning within him.The city below seemed to echo his internal chaos, with distant sirens adding a discordant note to the symphony of the night."I gave you vivid instructions and you choose to play games with me.""You are yet to realize what you are truly up against."His

The events of the past days played in his mind like a well edited video, each scene an in
